Dashboard Crack problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe

The dashboard has cracked in multiple locations including 3 cracks around the passenger airbag which I believe leads to a safety hazard should the bag deploy. If deployed, the shattered plastic would be sent as projectiles through the car resulting in serious injury to the driver and passengers. Also, if the airbag is deployed, the plastic shards could cut the airbags rendering them ineffective. I'm asking for this to be reported to general motors as a sever safety concern and issue a recall to correct the problem before there is serious injury. Thank you.

Dashboard has cracked above the passenger airbag and above the instrument cluster on the driver's side. It is unknown if the vehicle was parked or moving at the moment the cracks occurred. Nothing has ever been placed on the dashboard that could cause the cracks.

I'm seeing large structurally unsound cracks in the top of the dashboard, but on top of the main speedometer etc dome and over by the passenger side airbag area. The ones over on the driver side are large enough to actually flop around. It does appear to be a safety hazard especially in case of accident when jagged pieces would be about. Vehicle was purchased in this condition (noticed after purchase when on rougher roads without radio and the various pieces started making quite a racket. ).

My dashboard has cracked in two places as shown on the attached photos. One crack is near the housing for the airbag, and the other is forming above the steering wheel. The cracks result in the dashboard shacking on any uneven road surface, so eventually the smaller crack will progress across the entire dashboard. I understand there is a class action lawsuit against chevy due to a safety hazard from this defective part. Replacement or repairs are estimated to be $1200-$2000. This has happened over the course of normal driving.

I was driving at about 45 mph and heard a rattle coming from my dashboard. The vent near the windshield was visibly vibrating. I then noticed a crack extending from the corner of the airbag cover to the vent. The dealer said that this happens on some models/year. This is my third Tahoe in over 20 years and it hasn't happened before. The vibration is going to make the crack worse and the dashboard will start to break apart. I believe that the airbag compartment is also at risk.

Low mileage vehicle, stored in a garage at work and at home. Dashboard cracked at passenger side airbag. Serious safety issue as plastic parts from broken dashboard can become deadly missiles during airbag deployment and potentially harm or cause death to passenger (my child). Spent nearly $600 for a dashboard assembly that should have never required replacing.

Dashboard cracking can result in structural integrity issues that can result in the creation of projectiles in the instance of a collision, airbags being unable to properly deploy, etc. Almost all gm vehicles in this model year range have this issue; is of widespread concern. I just purchased this car and am worried that if I were ever to be in an accident, my safety would be jeopardized.

Cracked dash - dash has separated/cracked at airbag release location as well as at the instrument cluster. Unknown if this will affect airbag deployments or electrical issues in speedo cluster. Was told to report this by dealer.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked from the top driver's side to the front passenger side air bag area. The crack was rapidly expanding and the contact was concerned that the front passenger air bag could deploy. The vehicle was taken to nelson hall Chevrolet (1811 south frontage road, meridian, ms 39301, (601) 621-4324) where they stated that they were aware of the defective dashboard and determined that the driver's door panel was fractured. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that there were no recalls for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Cracking in the dashboard that has carried into the airbag section of the dash that prevented deployment in an accident on both passenger and driver sides of dash.

Dash cracked front passenger side, above and into left side of airbag compartment. Vehicle has been garaged or shade in window, was stationary & unoccupied when the dash cracked.

The dashboard is cracking right above the steering wheel. I do not know it the crack starting while in motion or stationary. I know it happened in may 2018. It is cracking more everyday. This is my dream car and I think it's a shame to pay this kind ot money for such a expensive car and it starts falling apart. My husband and I are nothing but chevy buyers we have owned a number of blazers and Tahoe and have never had this problem . My husband's Tahoe is a 2004 . Looks great. Also on the 2013 Tahoe the door pull is broke and the dealer said I had to buy the hold door panel thst would be over $500. I only need the the pull handle not the entire door panel. This is nonsense. Is Chevrolet getting cheap on their quallty . This will make be look into other vehicles (Ford, Toyota, Jeep , etc. ## VIN passed ## chevy Tahoe 2013 ##.

The dash has cracked on the passenger side. The crack starts on the left side of passenger air bag and continues upward. Started small and seemed to get larger overnight. Vehicle is garage kept. No reason for this. Scares me if airbag deploys will plastic explode into someone. From what I have read , this seems to be quite a problem with these dashes.

Cracking of the dashboard in multiple areas. Driver side, center speaker and in from of passenger airbag.

The dashboard has a crack from the windshield and is spreading toward the steering column(about 8-10 inch crack). There is also a small crack near the airbag on the passenger side. We first noticed the crack in August/2017. We were told our extended warranty would not cover the bill. When we first noticed the crack was about 4 inches. It has now grown close to 8-10 inches.

My dashboard has cracked in two separate places. The first crack in the dashboard is at the passenger airbag. The second crack is large in size and runs from the back of the dashboard all the way up to the dash that covers my instrument panel.

Dashboard is cracking, which has been recognized as a known problem. It caused integrity issues with cracked plastic in event air bags deploy.

Auto has a crack in dashboard in front of steering wheel.

As with many other complaints there is a crack in the dash. I feel this is unsafe if there is ever an accident that occurs and the air bag will need to deploy. I just purchased this car 30 days ago and now have a crack in the dash. By readingup on this, there is so many complaints. I have had in the past a 2004 Tahoe with no,complaints. I feel that gm should get off there pocket books and recall this. This Tahoe only has 48,000 miles. Practically brand new. Come on gm do the right thing. If an accident occurs and I loose an eye or suffer facial damage due to flying debris from a cracked dash that will be on you. I also have a camry. They recalled there dash just because its sticky. Step up made in the USA. Please. After paying $29000. For a car this should be fixed. This car was sitting still when this happened.

Cracked dash by passenger air bag not long after I purchased the vehicle I woke up got into my Tahoe and saw a crack.

The dash cracked.

The dashboard cracked from the corner of the airbag in front of the passenger side seat and is sinking below the airbag. The car was stationary.

Dashboard is cracking. Only 3 years old, 70000 miles when noticed. Never had a vehicle do this before. The crack today is on the dash at the top right corner of the passenger airbag.

The dash has cracked from one side to another.

Cracked dashboard. This started as a small problem a year ago when I took it to the dealer and was told it was not covered under warranty and I would have to pay $1600 to get it replaced. The four cracks continue to get bigger and neither the dealership nor manufacturer will recognize it for anything more than cosmetic damage I need to fix even though I did nothing to cause this damage. I can hear the crack continue to get bigger both when it's parked in the driveway and driving down the road in all conditions.

This is a series of crack on the front dashboard. Started from the cowling over instrument panels and has spread to a section by the passenger airbag. There have been a number of gm vehicles with this same dashboard cracking but gm does nothing about it. I'm only a little over 50k miles.

Dashboard cracked very small area but now is cracking everywhere.

I started noticing a small crack in the dashboard and now I have larger gashes and one very concerning next to airbag in front of passenger side.

Dash has severely cracked in two places.

Dashboard has several cracks. Three around the airbag box which are extremely concerning! I try to always have my Tahoe in cool places to prevent extreme temperatures and further damage but still notice the cracks growing. I understand there have been many gm owners having to deal with similar problems. There must obviously be a defect in the material or the assembly of this part. Being both a safety concern and a customer satisfaction issue, I am really looking forward to options for resolving this matter.
